Thank you, I enjoyed reading this and I always appreciate your writing, it’s nurturing and speaks to a deeper level
I’m in Devon in SW UK
I recently broke my shoulder falling over during a dog walk and it has made me feel very vulnerable due to the pain and exhaustion
I’ve also had a difficult few months dealing with issues of depression in one of my adult children
Work is demanding as a teacher of young autistic adults in a college. Life can swerve around a lot sometimes.
I find your honesty and compassion and self doubt and tenderness to be very helpful and empowering in an emotionally intelligent way.
It must be difficult for you to always have to write and talk when sometimes retreat feels necessary but I guess we can retreat and nurture more but still turn to!
Thank you Carole! I’m sorry to hear about your challenges. ♥️ Yes, sometimes I want to retreat for awhile, but there are also lots of gratifying moments, like kind messages from people like you!
Thank you Heather for this most beautiful post. I grapple with these very same things, as do many I am sure, and your words connect and inspire and move not just yourself forward but those alongside of you. From another person who appreciates your work in Australia.
Thank you! Australia was actually the first place I started teaching, not long after my blog post about holding space went viral, so I have lots of friends there!
Great - please come back - I would love to attend one of your workshops ! P.S I own retreat centre here in Brisbane so if you need a space to stay and run workshops - this could be it if you decide to visit !
I live in Australia too, and run workshops in Bibliotherapy training courses (working with stories as wellbeing focused practice). I run them mainly in Melbourne and Sydney and I have been asked to come to Brisbane by quite a few people and I am looking for place to run a three day course and would be keen to know more about your retreat centre.

That’s good to know! The retreat centre that used to host my work has been sold, which is one of the reasons I haven’t returned in a few years. ♥️
Hello Tanya.
I live in Australia too, and run workshops in Bibliotherapy training courses (working with stories as wellbeing focused practice). I run them mainly in Melbourne and Sydney and I have been asked to come to Brisbane by quite a few people and I am looking for place to run a three day course and would be keen to know more about your retreat centre.
